Acree, Hatch decry a rmative action ruling

Say they will work on political solutions to the decision

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

Chicago faith leaders, including members of the West Side’s Leaders Network, denounced the June 29 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found the use of affirmative action in colle ge admissions unconstitutional.

The court ruled on two cases dealing with admission of white and Asian-American students to Harvard Colle ge and the University of North Carolina. The court’s conservative-leaning sixjustice majority found that race-based colle ge admissions violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The ruling applied to public and private colle ges, but not miliary academies.

On June 30, members of the Leaders Network joined Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. and Rainbow PUSH Coalition at the Rainbow PUSH Headquarters, 930 E. 50th St., to argue that the ruling would hurt Black and Hispanic students. They also argued that the ruling failed to consider the effects of decades of systemic racism and discrimination. The faith leaders said that, in the coming weeks,

Mental health is core to all health at Association House

West Side-based agency recognized for mental health ser vices

By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter

The Association House of Chicago was awarded the 2023 Adv ing Minority Mental Health honor by the American Psychiatric sociation Foundation in recognition of its mental health programs

The West Side-based nonprofit was one of seven community-based organizations to receive this recognition and an award of $5,000 the end of June. The award recognizes programs and efforts dedicated to raising awareness and improving access to mental health in unserved and underserved communities

“This grant will go toward our relentless effort to continue breaking down barriers and providing vital support to those who need it most,” said Juan Carlos Linares, president and CEO of the Associa tion House of Chicago, in a press release.

In 1977, the nonprofit started its first state-funded behavioral health program to help adults in need of mental health services. Since then, the organization came to understand mental health could not be ad dressed separately from other health needs.

“When we talked about mental health, we’re just talking about health altogether,” said Tanya Wade, clinical director. “So, we have a lot of programming here, particularly within behavior health, but globally within our agency that addresses all social determinants of health and bridges the [health disparity] gap.”

Today, behavioral health is one of the five main focus areas of the nonprofit that started as a settlement house in the late 1800s to serve immigrants of European origin. With the increasing needs of immigrant communities and population shifts, the nonprofit expanded its array of community and social services to include child welfare, community health, workforce development and educational programs. Last year, the nonprofit served over 3,000 individuals from Black and Latino communities

“We all know that in Black and Brown communities, our folks are not necessarily seen and what I mean by seen, is recognized for their humanity and what they bring to the table, the strength, pride and culture that we have,” Wade said. “So being able to work at an agency to provide services to the folks that are underserved within the community is important.”

For its behavioral health programs, Association House provides an array of evidence-based services focused on treating individuals with dignity, cultural awareness and respect.

“We have an interdisciplinary team that includes the primary care provider, we have our nurses, we have a psychiatrist, medical assistant case managers and other clinical specialists that work with patients,” she said.

Additionally, the organization provides wraparound services in areas like health, housing, food security, job placement and education.

oundation, in a press is proud to sup port the strong work of Association House of Chicago as they continue to meet the mental and emotional needs of diverse multicultural communities during their second century of operations.”

The nonprofit also trains community members to act as health educators. Through the Public Health AmeriCorps. program participants help raise awareness about healthy behaviors and teach others how to navigate health care.

“Right now, we are actually looking for AmeriCorps volunteers so I would say that if any AmeriCorps volunteers want to come to us, we’re a great place where they can learn and really give back,” Wade said.

As its name denotes, the nonprofit also provides safe and supportive spaces for people with mental illness. Dulcinea provides a structured living setting for adults with mental illness or co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders transitioning from a nursing facility to live independently. In the program, they develop skills to live independently while receiving adequate medical and psychiatric care

The Drop-In Center provides a supportive gathering space for adults in the nonprofit’s mental health and other programs

“It’s really a place where participants can build friendships they can increase or enhance their skills, whether it be mindfulness, computer literacy or finding a job,” Wade said. “They can come in whenever they want to watch TV and just chill out if they want to.”

Facilities in the drop-in center include a TV room, game room, arts and computer room.

“We do community mental health, and in community mental health, services are really hands-on, really, really meeting participants where they are,” Wade said.

30-feet tall, mural of Danny Davis at Safer Foundation site

The mural honors Davis’ legislative work to help returning citizens

By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter

A new 3,500 square-foot, 30-foot-high colorful representation of Cong. Danny Davis (7 Safer Foundation building, 808 S. field Park. Davis, congressman 1996, has long advocated for poli justice-involved individuals returning to their communities. new mural, painted by artist Janel Young and a team of four other artists, honors Davis work making the successful reentry of citizens with arrest and conviction records tional priority.

“I am honored. I am humbled. I am pleased. I’m excited. I’m delighted. And I’m appreciative more than anything else,” Davis told Austin Weekly about being honored by the Safer Foundation.

“Congressman Davis advocated for a bill called Second Chance Act, and that bill has actually generated over a billion dollars in funding communities all over the United States to help people reentering get their lives back together and become productive members of our community,” Victor Dickson, president and CEO of the Safer Foundation told Austin Weekly News. “S it’s not just Chicago that’s benefitted, but also people all over the nation.”

The Second Chance Act of 2007 authorizes federal grants for vital programs and systems refor ms aimed at improving the reentry process. Since it went into effect, it has benefitted hundreds of grantees who provide training, employment, treatment and counseling to returning citizens across 49 states. The Safer

Foundation benefits from those grants.

The mural’s location on the West Side is also represenof the impact of Davis’ work for a community that numbers of returning citizens, Dickson llinois in Chicago reported that in 2019 the City of Chicago was home to 35 percent of returning prisoners released from Illinois state prisons, who concentrate in six of the city’s 77 Community Areas, most of them on the West Side. These communities include Austin, North Lawndale, East Garfield Park, West Englewood, Humboldt Park and Englewood.

Davis said, “Because if there can be some symbol of how much work is needed and if we can inspire motivate, stimulate and vate others to be involved with it and in it and better understand it and help prevent the need for it, then I say to myself, well done.”

Since the beginning of his long political career, Davis, 81, has end with returning citizens and institutions working to fulfill their needs and reduce the barriers that ent them from successfully continuing their lives after spending time in prison or possessing a record.

“We have more of our people incarcerated than any other nation in the world. I mean, we have about 5% of the world’s population, but we have about 20% of the world’s incarcerated population,” Davis said, adding the long-term goal is not only to help returning citizens, but reduce the number of people who are incarcerated

“We want to reduce recidivism, we want to prevent criminal activity, we want to create for ourselves a safe environment and secure homes,” he said.

As part of Davis advocacy work, he has reduced bar riers to employment for individuals with a criminal record. In 2015, Davis worked with the Safer Foundation to convene local health care leaders to identify ways in which individuals with an ar rest record could get employed in the health care industry, the fastest growing industry at the time, Dickson said.

“Out of that many of the local hospitals began an initiative to do that and JP Morgan Chase bank funded a Safer Foundation project to produce a tool kit for hiring managers in healthcare that was ultimately distributed all over the country,” he said.

Additionally, Davis has long championed improvements to the health care system and raise awareness on the relationship between public health and public safety.

“Returning residents are disproportionately food insecure, they’re disproportionately homeless and have housing insecurity,” Dickson said. “They’re more likely to have untreated substance use disorders and mental health diagnosis and live in poverty and unemployed.”

“So, when you do the work of reentry, you focus on this population and bring all of the healthcare resources to it, you’re improving public health. When you help them get stable housing and employment, then they’re not gonna commit another crime, so you are improving public safety.”

In addition, Davis sponsored legislation that helped create federally qualified health centers to provide health care in low-income communities. This legislation helped Safer Foundation create the Supportive Reentry Network Collaborative where returning citizens can be connected to health care.

“We know that the most effective program is a J-O-B, a job,” Davis said. “If you can get individuals into the world of work, with the kind of support systems that they need, you can often get recidivism down to virtually none.”

AFFIRMATIVE AC TION West

they intend to discuss possible ways to reverse the r uling via federal legislation, including the possibility of urging members of Congress to expand the size of the court.

Rev. Ira Acree, head of Austin’s Greater St. John Bible Church and co-chair of the Leaders Network, told Austin Weekly News, said that Rainbow PUSH invited them to the press conference.

During the June 30 press conference, Leaders Network co-chair Rev. Marshall Hatch Sr., pastor at West Garfield’s New Mount Pilgrim Church, 4301 W. Washington Blvd., argued the ruling ignores the effects of racist practices that reverberate to this day.

“With this decision the Supreme Cour t rejects any responsibility to re pair and remedy the nation’s caste system and sordid racial history,” he said. “Nevertheless, we will never give up the fight for a more perfect union.”

Acree took an even harsher tone. Pointing to the fact that then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked then-President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme

Court, he described the current court as a “Trump-packed cour t.”

“The decision of the United States Supreme Court was evil and it was totally out of step with what this country was supposed to re present, out of step of what our nation claims to be in the Constitution,” he said. “It is so criminal of the United States Supreme Court to strike down affirmative action and disre garding race in the country that was bult on white supremacy. We must do everything in our power to keep the right wing from setting the country back 50 years. This decision calls into question the legitimacy of a Trump-stacked court.”

Acree told Austin Weekly News that Chicago faith leaders plan to meet on July 5 to discuss political solutions to go with the rallies. Doing nothing, he said, wasn’t an option – and he was confident that decision will eventually be reversed.

“We’re going to Washington to march it up, to pray it up and to break it up,” he said. “Too many people have died for this cause. Black and Brown children are dying because of inequity and racism in our country”

The June 29 ruling dealt with two separate, but related cases – Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina, In both instances, the plaintiff was Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA),

an organization led by conservative le gal strategist Edward Blum. In the Harvard case, the group represented anonymous Asian-American students who alle ged that Harvard’s admissions system artificially limited the number of Asian-American admissions, even as the number of applicants and the size of the Asian-American population grew Harvard acknowledged using race as one of the factors for deciding admissions, but disputed the asser tion that the process disproportionately penalizes Asian-Americans

The University of North Carolina didn’t

use race as a factor, using a system that encourages low-income and first-generation students to achieve a racially diverse student body. SFFA represented a group of Asian and white applicants who argued that the system was still racially discriminatory.

Because Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sat on the Harvard Board of Overseers when the Supreme Court took up the case, she recused herself from the Harvard vote. The recusal didn’t make a difference – in both cases, six justices voted to rule in favor of the plaintiffs.

Metra pricing changes could lower rates for West Side riders

Metra board considering changes to fare packages

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

Metra is proposing the most significant fare overhaul in decades – one that would reduce ticket prices for Austin and East Garfield Park riders and get rid of popular system-wide day and monthly passes.

Under the proposed fare changes, which Metra’s board will vote on in August, the commuter rail system would go from 10 fare zones to four and create a flat $3.75 fare for riders who whose trip doesn’t begin or end at Union Station and other downtown terminals. Metra would eliminate its $10 systemwide day pass and $6 day pass that’s good for three fare zones, replacing them with a zone-based one-day pass that would cost the equivalent of two one-way tickets. The 10-Ride tickets, which allow riders to make 10 one-way trips for a price of nine, would be replaced with a Ventra-only “Bundle” of five day passes that would cost the equivalent of 9.5 oneway tickets.

Most notably, it would replace the $100 system-wide monthly pass with fare zone based monthly passes that would cost the equivalent of 16 one-way tickets.

All those changes would represent a price decrease for Galewood, North Austin and East Garfield Park riders. The price of one-way tickets between Chicago Union Station and all the Milwaukee District West stations that serve Galewood and

North Austin would go down from $4.25 to $3.75. The cost of traveling between East Garfield Park’s station and the Ogilvie Transportation Center would see a smaller drop, going from $4 to $3.75 -- but given that most riders use the station to reverse-commute to the suburbs, the savings would be larger for riders tr aveling to Oak Park and beyond. The monthly pass would cost $75.

T he changes come as Metra is facing a fiscal clif f as federal stimulus funds are expected to run out in 2026. The proposal tries to strike a alance between ttracting more riders, especially those who don’t ollow traditional suburb-to-downtown commuting patterns, while utting more money in Metra’s ers.

ast year, Metra proposed eliminating unlimited monthly passes and day passes, but backed down after opposition from the Metra directors re presenting the collar counties and some parts of suburban Cook County. T he changes would have raised fares for the collar counties, and the directors argued that Metra shouldn’ t get rid of popular monthly passes and should instead simplify the fare structure. This year’s changes would result in less drastic increases for the collar counties and address some of the directors’ earlier concerns

talent and the spirit not only in our family, but in our community,” Larry Taylor said in a press release. For years, Taylor has pushed for the West Side blues to be celebrated, enjoyed and remembered by the community. He has performed at numerous community concerts in West Side parks and performed at the 2023 Chicago Blues Festival last June 9.

In 2020, he received an Esteemed Artist Award from the Chicago Department of Culture and Special Events for his musical le gacy and work to revive the Chicago blues.

Taylor unveiled the new album in a heartfelt and energetic performance on June 18, on the Juneteenth weekend and during Black Music Month.

At FitzGerald’s, the historic musical venue at 6615 Roosevelt Rd., Berwyn, Taylor and his family took the stage to present their musical interpretation of songs inspired by Chicago blues and recorded on the West Side.

The album includes 13 songs featuring Larry Taylor and his siblings, Brenda Tay-

Larr y Taylor & the Taylor Family Band, from le Abraham Aver y bass, Liljet 2x (Larry Taylor’s son) guest rapper, Kevin Stovall (sunglasses) keyboard, Larr y Taylor vocal (front row), Tim Taylor dr ums, Minoru Maruyama guitar.

The album was produced by Records, with a CD and a special vinyl edition to come.

Larry’s son, Lil’ Jet, raps on an emotionally compelling adaptation of Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine.” Guests include the late Killer Ray Allison on guitar and Matthew Skoller on harmonica.

The album’s creation is also an example of Larry ole as today’s patriarch. He is the eldest son of his mother Vera lor, who met Taylor in Park in 1957. She wrote of Eddy songs and was responsible for family of children, seven hom became singers and musicians themselves. Her husband, Eddie Taylor Sr. became one of the Chicago blues pioneers after he taught himself to play guitar.

Founder of gang reentry program to host community conversation

Rev. Greg Boyle, author and founder of Homeboy Industries will join West Side, Oak Park leaders

By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter

On July 13, the author of ‘Forgive Everyone Everything,” Rev. Gregory Boyle will visit St. Catherine of Siena - St. Lucy Church, 38 N. Austin Blvd, for a conversation about g ang intervention, rehabilitation and reentry.

Boyle is the founder of Homeboy Industries, a prog ram he started in the Dolores Mission Church in Los Angeles to reduce g ang violence in his community in the 1980s, the so-called “decade of death.” It peaked with 1,000 gangrelated killings in 1992.

In 1988 Boyle and his parish started what would become Homeboy Industries, a program dedicated to providing a second chance to for mer g ang members. Today, Homeboy Industries is a nonprofit that trains and employs for mer g ang members and for merly incarcerated people in a do zen social enterprises, including a bakery, café and diner, food retail, catering, apparel and embroidery and electronics recycling. Yearly, it serves over 10,000 former g ang members from across Los Angeles, not only through its job placement program but through services like case management, education, le g al services, mental health services, substance abuse and tattoo removal.

His book “Forgive Everyone Everything” compiles stories from his over 30 years of working with for mer g ang members, whom he calls the homies and homegirls, and their families.

“There’s no denying how difficult things can be,” Boyle wrote in his book. “But the way out to the place of resil-

ience, the place of restoration, the place of not allowing your heart to be hardened by resentment, relies on one thing: forgive everyone everything.”

Marshall Hatch Jr., founder of the MAAFA Redemption Project will lead the conversation. Patricia Banks, executive director of SisterHouse Chicago, a faith-based residential program for women recovering from substance use, will also join the discussion.

The MAAFA Redemption Project, based in West Garfield Park is a faith-based residential institute for at-risk adult men of color where they receive wraparound services, residential support, workforce training and spiritual development.

PROVIDED

Hatch Jr. is the son of Pastor Marshall Hatch Sr. of New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, a renowned West Side civil rights activist and faith leader. Hatch Jr. met Jack Crowe, who is co-organizing the event, in his younger years, when Crowe was a mentor and leader who helped Hatch Jr. “get back on track.” When Hatch Jr. started his organization, the MAAFA Redemption Project, they stayed in touch and Crowe introduced Hatch Jr. to Boyle’s work

“We took maybe 18 of our young man and I just remember being inspired myself, but they were [also] inspired by Fa-

ther Boyle and his approach to the work,” Hatch Jr. said. Hatch Jr., staf f members and other justice-involved individuals would later participate in a silent retreat with Boyle, where Hatch Jr. says he learned the art of listening and the power of silence. Boyle also taught Hatch Jr. the depth and spirituality of the work he’s doing through MAAFA Redemption Project, what some would call violence prevention work, but what he calls “ministry.”

“We’re at the crossroads when it comes to gun violence, and I think the political rancor, it’s not helpful,” Hatch Jr. said, adding he follows a similar approach as Boyle. “I think this is a spiritual problem. It’s a problem of culture, it’s a problem of wellness, it’s a problem with community and I think what needs to be done is work at the individual level.”

Hatch Jr. hopes the July 13 conversation will “share new light” and pave the way forward to addressing the issues that affect the West Side of Chicago and wester n suburbs. This approach is encapsulated in the MAAFA Redemption Project’s mission statement that young male participants recite every day.

“We are the men of the MAAFA Redemption Project. We recognize that we cannot redeem our families and communities until we first redeem ourselves. Therefore, our mission is to invest in the mind, body and spirit. So that we may repair and rebuild our city one life at a time.”

The community conversation with Boyle will take place Thursday, July 13 at 3 p.m. at the St. Catherine-St. Lucy Gym, 38 N. Austin Blvd. RSVP is required and donations are encouraged.

Rev. Gregor y Boyle, New York Times best-selling author and founder of Homeboy Industries.

“Forgive Ever yone Ever ything,” Boyle’s newest book, compiles 50 “devotional” stories of real life.
